popped collar

Many Americans are confused concerning the real definition of a “popped collar”. In short, a collar has been popped when the wearer flips it up, so that it no longer rests on one's shoulders. It frames the face, and hides much of the neck. Many “poppers” nonchalantly flip their collars up, allowing the adjunct flap of fabric to slouch as it pleases, to create a vibe of effortless hipness. Some fastidiously iron said accessory, opting for a slick, polished look. Some favor the Twilight Zone style, fluffing their coat collars in a mysterious manner. The extremely confident poppers layer shirts, and simultaneously pop multiple collars. Polo or button-down shirts are the most popular media for poppage. (Typical of the coastal prep school dude and wannabe ganstas.)

That silly frat boy had a popped collar, until I pummeled him AND his collar into the ground.

Have you seen Jeff Foxworthy's "The Blue Collar Comedy Tour"? It is hilarious! I nearly wet my pants laughing so hard!

Flea Collar

When a woman wears an engagement/wedding ring in order to keep away unwanted attention from men.

Man 1: "She's married man! Look at the ring on her finger."
Man 2: "Nah man, that ain't nothing but a flea collar. She's trying to keep all the bugs off."

popped collar

All I'm going to say: While the current state of the popped collar is upsetting, to say the least, it has its roots in legitimacy. The original collars were not just fashionable, they had function. The sea-goers of yore faced many perilous conditions, among them the harmful rays from the sun. They learned early on covering their necks was beneficial to their health, in terms of dehydration, as well as avoiding burns. The trend was picked up by people who 'summer' in Cape Cod, those for whom sailing is a passion, and while not drinking or talking abouts sailing, they sail. So knock it, but don't hate on it.

'That popped collar is fashionably questionable, but he's no redneck.'
